Abstract: La présente invention concerne une lentille intra-oculaire. Ladite lentille comprend un corps optique présentant des parois antérieure et postérieure, une chambre et des liquides primaires et secondaires à transmission optique. La présente invention concerne également une méthode de fabrication et d'utilisation afférente. Le liquide secondaire est sensiblement immiscible avec le liquide primaire et possède une densité différente et un indice de réfraction différent du liquide primaire. Le liquide primaire est présent en une quantité suffisante pour que l'orientation de l'axe optique du corps optique à l'horizontale pour la vision de loin positionne l'axe optique à travers le liquide primaire, immergeant ainsi les centres optiques antérieur et postérieur dans le liquide primaire. Le liquide secondaire est contenu dans le corps optique en une quantité suffisante pour que l'orientation de l'axe optique sur une plage d'angles suffisante orientée vers le bas relativement à l'horizontale pour la vision de près positionne l'axe optique de manière à ce qu'il s'étend à travers le liquide primaire et le liquide secondaire, changeant ainsi le centre de la lentille intra-oculaire.

Patent CA-2454234-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TURCK DIETRICH
IPC: H01R13/627
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: The invention is concerned with a connector (1) for fitting of a counter connector (2), with a core portion (4) having contact means (3) for inserting into a sleeve (7) of the counter connector (2), which sleeve is provided with a latching step (5) and has counter contact means (6), the core portion (4) being surrounded at a radial spacing by a ollar (8), which has a latching bead (9) for engaging over the latching step (5), which collar (8) is surrounded in turn by a locking coupling (10), which in a release position allows slight radial displacement of the latching bead (9) and in a locking position blocks the radial displacement. In order to enhance the functional features of a connector of the kind discussed here, especially in order to increase the pulling-off force in the locking position, the invention proposes to provide for an axial continuation (11) of the collar (8) which can escape axially in the release position and is blocked from escaping in the locking position and has a radially inner second bead (12).

Title: Indirectly prestressed, concrete, roof-ceiling construction with flat soffit
Inventor: SMRCEK BRANKO
IPC: E04C3/26
Filed: 2002-11-19
Abstract: The indirectly prestressed concrete roof-ceiling construction is prefabricated element for constructing industrial large-span buildings. The construction comprises distinctly wide and thin concrete soffit plate (1) and upper concrete girder (2), of the inverse "V"-shaped cross section, interconnected by slender steel pipe-rods (3) that are used to stabilize the upper girder (2) against lateral buckling and to prevent parts (1) and (2) to get closer or apart each to another. Prestressing of the soffit plate (1) causes compression in the upper girder (2) which passively (indirectly) pushes the ends of the construction, acting on some eccentricity over the center of gravity of the cross section, causing rotation of its ends bending in that way the soffit plate upwards. There are two efficient methods of prestressing these constructions.

Title: Mass spectrometry method for analysing mixtures of substances
Inventor: WALK TILMANN B
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2003-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a mass spectrometry method for analysing mixtures of substances using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, whereby said mixtures of substances are ionised prior to analysis. The invention is characterised in that the method comprises the following steps: a) selection of a mass/charge quotient (m/z) of an ion created by ionisation in a first analytical quadrupole (I) of the mass spectrometer; b) fragmentation of the ion selected in step (a) by applying an acceleration voltage in an additional subsequent quadrupole (II), which is filled with a collision gas and acts as a collision chamber; c) selection of a mass/charge quotient of an ion created by the fragmentation process in step (b) in an additional subsequent quadrupole (III), whereby steps (a) to (c) of the method are carried out at least once;  and d) analysis of the mass/charge quotients of all the ions present in the mixture of substances as a result of the ionisation process, whereby the quadrupole (II) is filled with collision gas, but no acceleration voltage is applied during the analysis. Steps (a) to (c) and step (d) can also be carried out in reverse order.

IPC: B61B13/12
Filed: 2004-08-11
Abstract: A friction-drive carriage type conveyor includes a carriage 1 for running in a running direction along a horizontal track including a first track section and a second track section, which crosses a passage 26. Friction drivers 29 and 30 are fitted on both sides of the passage 26 to drive the carriage 1 across it. A main guide rail 14 lies along the whole length of the first track section. A rear auxiliary guide rail 31 lies along the first track section and is upstream of the passage 26. A front auxiliary guide rail 32 lies along the first track section and is downward of the passage 26. The carriage 1 is fitted with a pair of main guided members 4 and 5 for engaging with the main guide rail 14, a pair of front auxiliary guided members 6 and 7 for engaging with the front auxiliary guide rail 32, and a pair of rear auxiliary guided members 8 and 9 for engaging with the rear auxiliary guide rail 31. The main guided members 4 and 5 are spaced from each other in the running direction. The front auxiliary guided members 6 and 7 are forward of the main guided members 4 and 5 and spaced from each other in the running direction. The rear auxiliary guided members 8 and 9 are backward of the main guided members 4 and 5 and spaced from each other in the running direction. The auxiliary guided members 6 - 9 are positioned on either side of the main guide rail 14. While the carriage 1 is passing across the passage 26, at least two of the guided members 4 - 9 engage with the associated guide rail or rails 14, 31 and/or 32 on one or both sides of this passage. This ensures that the carriage 1 passes linearly across the passage 26.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for marking the mail stop of an article of internal or interdepartmental mail. The apparatus consists of a matrix of boxes representing alphanumeric characters, a portion of which that are marked or are scratched or blackened out by the sender to represent a destination mail stop code. The matrix further comprises a lead-in marker and a lead-out marker used by an optical scanner of a mail sorting machine to determine the location and orientation of the matrix affixed or printed on the article of mail and to, thereby, decode the mail stop code marked on the matrix. The method of the present invention consists of scanning an article having such a label printed on it whereby the destination mail code is marked on the label. The method then determines if the marked mail stop code matches a destination known to the mail sorting machine and, if so, routes the article to a mail receptacle corresponding to the mail stop code.
